At the adjourned meeting Saturday
evening of the Twin-City Columbian com
mittee at the rooms of the Rock Island
Citizens' Improvement association there
was a large attendance of members, in
cluding Col. .Bufflcgton and , Lieut.
Thompson, of Rocfc Island arsenal, to
gether with a number of public spirited
citizens in addition to the committee. In
the absence of Chairman Velie, J. H.
Porter, of Moline, was proposed for tem
porary chairman and elec'.ed.
B. C. Keator, of the special committee
to prepare plans for a Fourth of July eel
oration made a report providing for a
grand celebration on July Fourth. The
main features are to be an industrial and
mechanical parade in both cities, massing
at last on the grounds ; an oration by a
speaker of national reputation; various
drills, games and sports in the afternoon,
and a display of fireworks, to cost not
less than $1,000. at night. To properly
attend to the w .rk he recommended a
committee of five in Rock Island and five
in Moline. to organize, advertise and car
ry out the plan; and a committee of three
in each city on finance, railway transpor
tation and ;speaker. The proposed bar
becue at an earlier date was deemed in
advisable, all efforts to be concentrated
on the celebration.
The report was, upon motion adopted
and the subcommittee continued to su
pervise the carrj ing out of the recom
mendations.
On motion A. C. Dart was named as
chairman of the committee on flnance.etc,
with authority to appoint three commit
teemen for each city to act with him.
Mr Dart thereupon appointed as his asso
ciates: George . Baiiey, !i Mosen
fielder and Otto Huber, of Rock Island,
and B. C. Keator, W. R. Moore and E
H. Sleight, of Moline.
Tbe chair was authorized to appoint
the otber committees at his pless .re and a
motion prevailed that such committees
go ahead with tbe plans by May 18, pro
vided the committee on finance have
$2,000 by that time.
Mr. Dart reported that there need be
no fears about raising the amount necea
sary and that the-Fourth of July feature
could be considered a go henceforth.
Remarks were invited from Supervisor
R. A. Smith, of Moline, and Col. Buf-
fiogton, and both spoke britfiy, throwing
OJt bints of value to the committee in
furthering the work before it. Col. Buf'
fiogton stating that the celebration should
be as perfect and as patriotic as is possi
ble to make it. but that tbe main essen
tial should be monev. Be assured the
committee that as far as work was con
cerned he would be happy to co-operate
with the committee in every way that
might be suggested in providing a proper
observance of the day.
Chairman Porter announced the secur
ing of the Brooks' tract for Columbian
purposes since tbe last meeting of the
committee, and upon Mr. Porter's invita
tion Mr. Ouyer reported the taking up of
the option by means of a loan secured
from the Rock Island Savings bank and
tbe State Savings bank of Moline,
amounting to $14,000 secured by a prom
isory note with tbe title vested in Messrs.
William Jackson and S. H. Velie. who
will bold it for tbe purposes of the expo
sition and who executed a declaration of
trust to protect the makers of the note.
Toe grounds with the exception of that
portion occupied by the Brooks home'
stead and barn which are retained by tbe
heirs until Jan . 1, are now subject to the
control of the association.
An extended discussion of the Colum
bian project followed in which there were
eeneral remarks, and a motion that it be
tbe sense of the committee that a renewed
effort be made to raise the original capital
stock of $100,000 was carried and a com
mittee composed of H Guyer. M. M
Sturgeon, W. B. Ferguson, W. R. Moore,
W. B. Ullmann and B. C. Keator ap
pointed to devise means and report at
the next meeting of the committee.
The committee then adjourned to meet
in Moline next Saturday night.
